Islamic rules are outlined in the Qur’an by Muhammad, a self-proclaimed prophet and political leader, about which he explicitly stated no follower of his could alter or ignore. While Islam, literally translated, means “submission” [to Allah—or death], Islam and Shari’a law are one and the same.

Islam’s totalitarian political ideology specifies a mandatory legal system to oversee all areas of society—and rejects every aspect of western law.

Drinkers of alcohol, gamblers, and unmarried sexual partners must be whipped;

All gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people are to be executed if sever punishment does not result in repentance and halting of perverted behavior.

Free speech, freedom of the press, and freedom to worship or not worship do not exist under Islamic law.

In fact, the Qur’an, the Hadith, and the Sunnah all clearly articulate Islam’s ultimate goal: to implement worldwide totalitarian rule under Shari’a Law.

Several efforts are underway in America towards this end.

The Muslim Brotherhood recently announced its intention to create a political party to engage Muslims in U.S. politics in addition to the numerous organizations and agencies it has infiltrated over the last several decades. CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations) and other organizations and Islamists are actively trying to make every state constitution Shari’a compliant.

Obama’s close friend, Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR claimed:

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America.”

Belgian leader Abu Imran helps clarify the Islamic perspective:

“Democracy is the opposite of Islam. A Muslim who supports democracy is equivalent to a Jewish Muslim. It’s impossible to be both Jewish and Muslim and impossible to be a Muslim against Shari’a.”

It is an Islamist’s duty to transform all governments to Shari’a Law– which is why mosques act primarily as political centers, not “religious” institutions.

According to the Center for Security Policy, 81 percent of all mosques in America distribute imam-promoted literature that encourages violence as part of advancing Islam. According to the Center’s survey results, data, and calculations, the majority of men who attend mosques on a weekly basis attend mosques that promote jihad.

Because the imam-distributed material classifies as hate speech, many Islamic organizations affiliated with and/or funding/managing mosques can be classified as “hate groups.” More importantly, they can also be shut down.

The Qur’an is the only “religious book” that requires its followers to target and kill certain people— solely based on their ethnicity and religious belief and/or affiliation.

Even if considered “religious,” no rational assertion can claim Islam does not incite violence. Because violence is integral to Islam, Islam itself violates the U.S. Constitution.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled more than once that “hate speech,” which incites violence, falls outside of constitutional protection.

In 1969 the Supreme Court added three conditions to the Holmes argument for restricting speech; the speech in question must have 1) the intent and 2) the likelihood of causing 3) imminent violence.

Inciting the intent to kill any non-Muslim, anyone who rejects the Qur’an, Shari’a law and Islam, involving direct encouragements for others to commit crimes and to commit them “now,” all meet the three-prong criteria. Yet, few if any legal actions have been taken against imams, mosques, or any other groups continuing to incite violence.

Every American citizen must demand that legal action be taken to curtail and halt incitement to violence being directed towards any and everyone who rejects Islam. The first place to start is by first classifying mosques as “hate groups.” Next, shut down mosques. Finally, identify, arrest, and try imams and everyone who poses a direct threat to the Constitution, as instructed in Article III.
